Chapter 96: Sensation

In the Virtual Universe, on the Tongtian Bridge plane, a great Immortal Being of the Virtual Universe Company suddenly appeared here.

Dark Star King!

Life Spring King!

Divine Martial King, why did you also come? You're not of our Maternal Ancestor lineage!

Hmph, I'm here on behalf of the Venerable. I think you should disperse early; do you still dare to compete with the Venerable for disciples?

Venerable. The Venerable wants to take disciples, but it must be mutually willing; in the end it still depends on Zhou Yang!

At the moment Zhou Yang breezed through the first three layers of the Tongtian Bridge, the Virtual Universe Company—especially some strong practitioners of the Maternal Ancestor Chaos Stele system—were all alarmed.

Looking at the newcomers absorbed in past Genius Battles, those who could directly pass the first three layers of the Tongtian Bridge upon first arriving in Chaos City are exceedingly rare.

Many strong ones were already considering taking disciples.

Bafin, play that video of Zhou Yang clearing the trial.

A strong figure whose face was covered with azure‑gold scales and who wore dark‑gold armor spoke.

Right, play it for us, let's see the performance of our Maternal Ancestor lineage's youngster!

The other Immortal Beings also spoke.

"Yes!" The overseer Bafin waved his hand, and a screen over ten meters long and nearly eight meters wide instantly appeared before him.

On the screen, Zhou Yang's figure advanced along the long bridge shrouded in mist, soon reaching the end of the next layer.

"It's about to start!"

All the strong ones heightened their attention.

At the end of the fourth layer of the Tongtian Bridge, a surge of clouds rolled, and a mysterious figure clad in silver armor with a silver mask flew out.

"Newcomer? You made it to the fourth layer on your first try? Kid, you're impressive!"

The silver‑armored figure looked at Zhou Yang and solemnly praised him.

"However, getting past me won't be easy; show me all your strength!"

Zhou Yang smiled at the words.

"Don't worry, I'll satisfy you!"

The silver‑armored man nodded and fell silent.

Streams of green light continuously shot out from his Ancient Simple Long Whip behind him.

A full 1,600 green blades rapidly assembled, the hazy green rays interweaving to form a massive trunk dozens of meters tall and immensely thick.

"In antiquity there was a divine tree, born within Heaven and Earth, a hundred zhang tall, capable of reaching the heavens!"

Source Divine Weapon Fourth Tier — 'Tongtian Divine Tree'!

This 'Tongtian Divine Tree' formed from exactly 1,600 green blades represents the perfect union of the Spatial Law and the Wood Origin Law.

Countless Law Secret Patterns flickered and surged across the 'Divine Tree'.

The dozens‑meter‑tall divine tree towered between Heaven and Earth, releasing terrifying qi that made the surrounding space tremble, as if it would split the whole world apart.

Zhou Yang did not dawdle; countless streams of light flew from his Ancient Simple Long Whip behind, rapidly assembling into another 'Tongtian Divine Tree' shape.

During the three‑year journey, he continuously practiced 'Three Souls Nine Refinement', causing his Soul Power to surge severalfold!

Moreover, by delving into 'Life Evolution' and comprehending the Maternal Ancestor Chaos Stele, his insight and application of the Fundamental Law skyrocketed!

Today, three years later, he also unleashed the move reputed to be Universe Level invincible after cultivation!

"Having reached Universe Level, you now wield the Source Divine Weapon Fourth Tier; you're impressive, be careful!"

As the silver‑armored man spoke, he already widened the gap, while the towering 'Tongtian Divine Tree' behind him instantly crashed down toward Zhou Yang!

"Boom—"

As the massive 'Divine Tree' toppled, Heaven and Earth seemed about to split open, and space shook violently!

Enveloped by the tree, Zhou Yang felt himself locked by powerful qi, an overwhelming force bearing down on him, as if sinking into a mire.

This is the Source Divine Weapon Fourth Tier's application of the Spatial Law!

"The Source Divine Weapon Fourth Tier is indeed mighty!"

Zhou Yang praised in his heart, raised his hand and pointed.

"Rise!"

Behind him, another massive 'Divine Tree' sprang from the ground, colliding directly with the toppled, dozens‑meter‑tall stout tree!

"Bang!"

The two gigantic 'Divine Trees' collided, as if two massive worlds slammed together.

The space outside the Tongtian Bridge kept shaking, and the surrounding clouds churned violently!

"Blocked it?"

Shock flashed in the pupils beneath the silver‑armored man's mask.

"Blocked it!"

Zhou Yang's face brightened with excitement.

He had only just mastered this move, so facing the silver‑armored man's adept control of the Fourth Tier left him somewhat uneasy.

But since he could block it, this stage was secured!

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!".

In an instant, thousands of phantoms blossomed across the space!

Zhou Yang's figure flickered between the phantoms as if by Teleportation, rapidly closing on the silver‑armored man.

"Block!"

The silver‑armored man barked low, instantly wielding the 'Tongtian Divine Tree' to intercept Zhou Yang, while his own figure swiftly retreated!

However, the 'Divine Tree' Zhou Yang controlled gave no chance for rescue, directly blasting the opponent's Tongtian Divine Tree away.

Boom—

Two massive 'Divine Trees' tangled together, and the whole Heaven and Earth shook!

The silver‑armored man still had to retreat, but Zhou Yang, with thousands of illusionary bodies erupting, moved at the current ultimate speed!

Puff!

A completely jet‑black Ancient Simple Long Spear pierced the silver‑armored man's skull outright.

One of the two 'Tongtian Divine Trees' that were battling also disintegrated instantly!

"Maternal Ancestor Tongtian Bridge, fourth layer challenge succeeded, congratulations, young man, keep moving forward!"

A solemn prompt tone echoed from the mist.

On the Tongtian Bridge plane, the central plaza of that beautiful Dao Yu was now almost exploding!

"Heaven, is this real? Skipping straight through four layers!"

"We can't even get past the first layer, this is way too perverse!"

Hundreds of geniuses gathered on the plaza all felt as if a massive hammer had slammed into their heads, leaving them dizzy.

They had basically all attempted the challenge, and each had a clear understanding of the Tongtian Bridge's difficulty.

Except for Bolan, who cleared two layers, the other hundreds of geniuses—including Ai Chen of the Tai Chu Zone, Long Yun, and the Augustus Star siblings—couldn't find even a single person who passed the first layer!

Now Zhou Yang, under their gaze, breezed through four layers in one go; how could anyone not be amazed.

"Brother, is the gap between us and him really this big? I thought three years of arduous cultivation could narrow the gap a bit."

Qianshui, the green‑haired girl with beautiful patterns on her face, sighed, her watery eyes full of disappointment.

Beside her, the green‑haired youth with a secret pattern on his face also gave a wry smile:

"It shows that while we are working hard, they aren't relaxing either. Keep it up, Qianshui!"

"Understood, brother!"

In the crowd, the figure of the white‑robed Blood Sword youth gradually faded.

"Zhou Yang, I will prove to the master that I am the strongest!"

"Ha ha, this kid is interesting; not only is his rule comprehension strong, his consciousness intensity is even perverse. This intensity appears to be at least five levels above peers of the same rank. Looks like the kid also had a strange encounter!"

Above the Dao Yu, the gathering of Immortal strongmen became lively.

"The first time breaking through the Tongtian Bridge and clearing four stages, with the fourth being a major gate; in the past hundreds of thousands of Genius Battles, such a promising seed hasn't appeared!"

"Not bad."

Each Immortal smiled in admiration, while quickly calculating in their minds.

An elder dressed in white robes, with hair and eyebrows also snow‑white, spoke first:

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, brothers, I have searched for hundreds of thousands of eras, and finally found a suitable successor; brothers, please grant me some face."

But his words were immediately rebuked as soon as they left his mouth.

"What kind of face are you asking for, you little brat? When I traversed the Universe, you were still playing in the mud, how dare you compete for my disciple!"

"All of you step aside, I am here on behalf of the Venerable!"

"Even the Venerable has to queue!"

Watching the noisy scene of the powerful Immortals, the guardian Bafin in the corner twitched the corner of his mouth upward.

"Let me add another spark for you!"

In an instant, a flood of Email burst out everywhere.

"The strongest genius of the Million Eras has emerged; this cycle's Genius Battle member Zhou Yang has cleared four stages of the Tongtian Bridge in a row."
